About This Book

Un hombre mayor vive en una antigua casa señorial y ha adoptado a una niña huérfana, Carmencita, cuya calma y encanto transforman la atmósfera del hogar. La narración explora la relación afectuosa y ambivalente entre el protector, enfermo y soñador, la niña de conducta serena y la fiel criada que la cuida, mientras afloran la inquietud por la salud del hombre, el misterio sobre los orígenes de la niña y las fricciones ocasionadas por visitas familiares. Abundan temas de ternura paternal, melancolía, enigma del pasado y el contraste entre la decadencia de la casa y la frescura infantil.
